My Printrbot Simple Pro has been chugging away for 74 hours so far printing

My Printrbot Simple Pro has been chugging away for 74 hours so far printing a dragon goblet that is about 180mm tall. Only 75% finished so far, will be another 24 hours or so until it is done. I can’t believe that this item is going to take a total of about 100 hours before it is finished. I did slice it with the highest level of detail possible, and it is looking fantastic, just did not anticipate the extremely long print time. This will be the longest print I have ever attempted. I am now getting nervous as it approaches the final stages, I hope nothing screws up. Will post a pic of the finished print when it is done.

definitely post some pictures of the results!

Pics or it didn’t happen… :slight_smile:

The highest resolution is .05mm… is that what you used? It’s a .3mm nozzle, so there is that. USB printing is faster, btw.

I cloud sliced it, at whatever its best settings are. I am very impressed with the print quality so far.

Good to hear. Making it simple to use does add some wait time… as does pushing the resolution potential a little higher w .3 tip. But it’s still soooo much faster than hand making something or waiting for a print service to print and ship. The time involved in printing has never bothered me at any speed.

Well, it is finally finished! 102 1/2 hours, the longest print I have ever completed. Will post pictures in the morning, as well as a link to the stl file on thingiverse. Have to say, my Printrbot Simple Pro rose to the occasion and managed to produce a great quality print. Thanks for the great printer @Brook_Drumm1
